    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

As I was replacing some carb diaphragms, I lost a part!
As I'm sure you know, to replace the diaphragm, the slide portion of the diaphragm must be split in two, accomplished by removing the snap ring, then the two halves pull apart. The half which has the needle portion has (or in my case had) a cap that sat on top of the snap washer. I no longer have the cap. I fear that it has bounced its way into oblivion.

Does anyone know if this part is actually important? I realize motorcycles are not known for having unneccisary parts...

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Thank you much,
Matt

BTW, the Bike is an 81 GS550L.
I will post pics tomorrow of the spot where the cap oughhta go.
 
Hi,

You can post in the "Parts Wanted" section. Somebody might have spares. Here's a short list of some of our favorite carb part vendors.

Sudco International - Carburetor parts, Classic & Late Model Replacement & Performance Parts, etc.
http://www.sudco.com/ (http://www.sudco.com/oemcarbparts.html)
MotorcycleCarbs.com - Carburetor parts, etc.
http://www.motorcyclecarbs.com/index.cfm
Jets R Us - Carburetor parts, filters, gauges, etc.
http://www.jetsrus.com/

You could also try some of the OEM vendors in the "mega-welcome", starting with www.z1enterprises.com. Give them a call as they can usually get just about any part even if it's not on their website.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
I have some BS34 slides that can be scavenged from, if the part in question can be used. PM if interested.
 
I'm no expert and not sure I understand the question. The diaphragm part confuses me. Are you talking about the black rubber boots. If you are merely referring to the spacer above the E-clip on the jet needle, those are available at on-line vendors. I got some from, Deland Powersports/Boulevard Suzuki.

I don't think I posted the pic right....

BassCliff- I already tried Z1- they said they could not get that part for me. I will try the other sights you referenced.

Dogma- I really appreciate the offer, but my carbs are 32. I have no idea if that part is interchangeable.

1948man- Thanks, I'll check them out too!

For the record, I am talking about the spacer that sits on top of the e clip.
